Really great. I learned so much and realized how much patience is a part of restoration. Our teacher Max was terrific. Each project went home stronger and fresher than how it came into class. I really enjoyed the weekend.

Description

This class is your chance to bring a cherished piece of furniture back to life and learn techniques so you can restore furniture yourself. It includes a survey of materials and applications, examples of common wear, deterioration and mishandled prior repairs, and cleaning procedures. The instructor will also guide students in troubleshooting problems with pieces that they bring in to restore.

Each student should bring furniture pieces to be worked on in class.

Suggested pieces include small coffee tables, end tables, chairs, antique clock cases, small wood sculptural pieces, etc. (Due to time and space constraints, pieces larger than these are discouraged and final approval will be given by the instructor once he is shown detailed photos of prospective pieces.)

Following the overview of damage and repair, students will be guided through the process of reviving their individual pieces. Day 1 will ideally culminate with a top-coat of protective finish to be allowed to dry overnight. Day 2 will cover polishing the finish, continued care and maintenance, and a final discussion and recap of the topics covered.

Due to the varying nature of repairs that may be involved, some students may have their repairs completed by the end of the class, while others may need time to finish them at home with additional guidance.

Refund Policy

Full refunds less a 5% processing fee will be offered for cancellations that occur 32 days or more before a program's registration deadline (if no deadline, the first day of the program).
Cancellations between 31 and 9 days will be offered a 50% refund or credit toward another class.
Cancellations after the registration deadline or within 8 days of the first day of class (whichever comes first) will not be refunded.
In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

Max was so knowledgeable, helpful and kind. He went above and beyond. The class was very spacious with lots of tools. I’ve learned so much in just two days. I wish I could have done this class every weekend!
